Bow down to our new telepresence robot overlords.
Today, Bump received a special delivery. It’s an Anybot. Above is a photo of our robot in collapsed mode, taunting the office dog. Pretty incredible and a bit absurd. You pilot the robots via the AnyBots website. They have head-mounted displays and speakers, so you can actually talk face-to-face with coworkers around the office while you’re controlling the robot. I recommend checking out their website during the work week to test-pilot an Anybot around the company’s office in Mountain View. The experience is very reminiscent of a video game. WASD to drive, click to shoot… your laser… pointer.
This is just the beginning. Imagine all the possibilities once these guys are dextrous.
I think we’re going to have a ton of fun hacking Bump capabilities into this guy.
